The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the way for Riviere de Galets. The coming week has a real wildcard situation: a massive, clean swell arrives but it’s too big for comfort, then things settle into a long stretch of middling, messy conditions that don’t quite fire. If you’re after the standout, it’s Sunday morning, 27 July – that’s the one to circle.
Sunday the 26th starts off small and clean. Morning glass-off with a light 3 mph WSW wind, 4 ft SW swell at 13 seconds, and combined energy of 1016 (moderate). The waves will be tidy but nothing to get excited about. By afternoon the wind swings cross-on and the quality drops.
Now, Monday the 27th morning is the real deal. We’ve got 10 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, glassy conditions (0 mph SE wind), and heavy energy pumping in at 4422 (strong). This is big, clean, powerful surf. But honestly, at 10 ft this break is for experienced surfers only – beginners, stay out of the water. The direction matches the optimum SW perfectly, but the size will test everyone.
After Monday, the rest of the forecast turns into a grind. From Tuesday the 28th through to early August, the swell drops but stays in the 5 ft to 8 ft range, mostly from the SSW. Unfortunately, the wind is a persistent moderate cross-shore or cross-off from the east at 9 to 16 mph, which keeps the surface bumpy. Combined energy is 1307 to 2983 (moderate to strong), but the cross-chop ruins the quality. A few morning windows on 31 July and 2 August are cross-off and look cleaner, but the scores are still marginal.
Sunday 10 August morning sees the run end with 10 ft ESE windswell, a short-period 10 seconds, and 22 mph SE cross-onshore wind, making a lumpy mess. Combined energy of 1864 (moderate) but for paddle surfing it’s a write-off – this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a surfboard.
Overall, if you’re a strong surfer, Monday morning the 27th of July is your shot. After that, it’s mostly a waiting game with average waves and onshore chop. It tends not to stay poor forever around here, but this stretch is a real test of patience.
Rusty.
